Eh, I guess they want to pay some extra million dollars in luxury tax, for a mediocre season. Not so much calling it "coming to their senses." Do they still have their amnesty clause, because they could use it on Bargnani during the off-season, than sign a Millsap, or Josh Smith in the off-season.

No, they can't. Amnestying Bargnani will not get them under the cap enough to sign a major free agent. Not even if they were somehow able to dump Kleiza or convince him not to pick up his option. They'd be stuck with trying to move Bargnani in a sign-and-trade, that's literally the only way they could get one of those guys now.

I fully believe, that if Memphis had Andrea last night, and we had Davis, we would of won the game. Garbani is useless, and only once we see real PF's in action and real 1st options do we realize the sort of dog shit we have on our hands.

i think Bargs gets moved in the summer for Gasol...that is IF D.Howard resigns with Lakers

You are probably correct but for the Ryan Wolstat's of the world preaching of 'poor' Toronto's inability to afford the luxury tax, that certainly adds quite a bit more payroll for next season.

Nevermind the difficulty of making CBA requirements work when Toronto AND LA will both be tax teams.

Oh and nevermind the fact Bargnani has decided to take another steamy dump all over his trade value. 3.8pts and 1.8 rebs last 4 games in 20 minutes. Jesus Christ. The anger. The Rage. The bitter sting of 28 more games.

I might get ripped for saying this, but let's go back to January 30th.

"The Toronto Raptors, have traded Jose Calderon, & Terrence Ross to the Memphis Grizzlies for Rudy Gay, and Hamed Haddadi."

Lowry
Derozan
Gay
Davis
Valanciunas

- :| - :/ - - > - >:'O

I'm a fan of ED as well, but I think we made the right choice between keeping T. Ross or keeping ED. Note, there hasn't been any mention of either Milsap or Jefferson being traded as yet which means they should be available in the summer should the Raptors want to make a run at either.

Chicago had their pants around their ankles and were ready to take the big Banana just to not pay the tax.

the problem with the Boozer deal is it cripples us going forward for a marginal upgrade who is 1 of the few players out there thats even harder to move then Bargs..add in the fact that Boozer will likely trip over his own shoe laces breaking his hand in 3 places before he even gets off the plane in T.O LOL... its just too big a risk for marginal return... id prefer too wait till the summer to move bargs then take Boozer
